WHO ARE THE JABARTIS?.
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2006 3:09 pm
Who are the Jabartis is a question that was asked me by some Somalinet readers.They asked me questions such as:
1)Are they dark skinned people like the Isas of Djibouti?.
2)Do they smear their clothes with ghee, file their teeth, eat carrion, scar their faces, make hole in their ears as the Isas of Djibouti do?.
3)Are they mesocephalics like the Idors?.
4)Are their shoulders T-shaped like the Somali Cushites and Somali Bantus?.
5)Are they barbers like the Hawiyes?.
6)What is their status in those Arab countries where they live?.

There Jabarti clan is found in Egypt,Sudan,Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.
There also people known as Jabartis in Amhara,Tigray and the Highlands of Eritrea but these people were not known as Jabartis before the 17th century.This name was dubbed the Tarod clan during the Abyssinian-Muslim war in the early 14th century.The people who coined this name were the Hararis and it means in their language soldiers.This name was later extended by mistake to the Muslimised Abyssinains of the Abyssinian highland.According to Sheikh Abdurahman al-Jabrti, the weel known Egytian historian, who lived between the 18the and 19th century, the ancestors of the Jabartis in the Arab countries left the Zaila country between the 14th and 15th century and after they learned the sceince of Islam and taught there, they settled in those Arab countries.
Many Arab historians who lived between the 15th and 17th century such as al-Sakhawi, al-Sharji, al-Shawkani, and al-Barayhi described the JABARTIS in the Arab countries as Aqils of the hashimi clan.
'Atiq Biladi, a Saudi Arabian historian wrote in 1980 a book in which he described the Arab clans of Hijaz and he said that the Jabartis are 'Aqils of the Hashimi clan and they do not intermarry with non-Hashimi Arabs.
The Jabartis of the Sudan, according to my informant, fled to that country
from Saudi Arabian after their emirate, which was located in Riyadh and which they co-ruled with the Rashidi clan. was overran by the al-Saud family and their allies in 1930.
Here, I collected for you some facts about the Jabartis of the Arab countries:
This is how they look like.The man with blue-white shirt is called Jabartis Ali and he play for the al-Ittihad soccer team of Saudi Arabia.The other man who is wearing the shirt with the yellow and black strips is a Djiboutian called Dhuhulow Aptidon Maamasan.
